I don't recommend taking the exam until you can score better than 80% on the HFSJ mock exam. Anything less and you are probably at risk of failing. (And don't take it too soon or too often or you'll start memorizing the answers.)

I do not agree with that. 80% on that mock exam is a bit too much.
I am hoping that even if you score 40% only on that mock exam you can still pass the real exam.

40% ?!?

I don't believe that scoring 40% on the HSFJ mock will give you a good probability of passing the real exam. A passing score on the exam is 62% (44 of 70 questions).

And the HSFJ mock is quite similar to the real exam. The major difference being that the real exam tells you how many multiple choice options to select, but the mock doesn't.

I don't know about you, but to me US$200 is a lot of money. When I took the exam I was 100% sure I would pass.

I also think that it is beyond 40%. At least you have to get 60%.
